Holiday Fun with Logitech Video Effects

If you’re like most webcam owners, you use your webcam to keep in touch with a few special people – maybe your children when you’re away from home or grandchilden if you are separated by miles. With the holidays just around the corner, you can use your Logitech webcam to say hello to that special person in a more creative way.

Our free Video Effects Avatars and Face Accessories offer a bunch of holiday themes that make it easy for you to have fun and be entertaining without too much heavy lifting on your part. And let’s face it – who doesn’t need help during the holidays?

I recommend a Logitech webcam that includes the full suite of Video Effects such as the QuickCam Pro 9000 or QuickCam Pro for Notebooks. During the holidays I like using avatars and face accessories to give my calls holiday flair. I also record holiday videos and e-mail them to my family – much easier than writing that annual holiday letter.

Video Masks are also lots of fun. They are a great way to engage children in long-distance story telling. One of my favorite children’s books is Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. I use the moon face mask so that my eyes and mouth animate the moon as I tell the story.

Video Effects are compatible with all popular video calling applications and are included with all Logitech webcams (although only the higher-end webcams include the full suite). New Video Effects content is added regularly to Logitech.com.

This holiday season make keeping in touch more fun with Logitech Video Effects and feel free to share some of your videos and experiences with me.

I just got a quickcam communicate MP for Christmas and I want to add some avatars. I am having a problem getting them. I downloaded several and got a pop-up that they had been added, but they are not showing up in my video effects. Need help please! Does this cam not support the avatars?

Hi LuAnne,
Unfortunately, the QuickCam Communicate MP does not support all of our Video Effects, only our Fun Filters. Our Web site provides information about which of our webcams support the full range of Video Effects, including avatars. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Recently purchased the QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks and I must say that I am pretty disappointed in the quality of the picture. Seems a bit blurry. The box says “sharper image” with glass lens and “higher image quality” with Light Right Technology, however I founds this not to be the case. Returning to store today.

Hello!
I was just trying to play around with my new webcame, I have been searching everywhere to find out how to add cool affects to the pictures. My camera does not contain the entertainment faces that you are supposed to click to apply the affects. I was hoping you could help me out as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for answering my question. Sorry to bother you ounce again but just would really like to know. I use to have the entertainmnt faces to add just like a siple color change, nothing big. All of a sudden it has disapeered? Any ideas?

It is correct, that I can not download your video effects for my brand new
Logitech QuickCam Vison Pro for Mac ?
Compatibility chek on your sit says: only for Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 !

The ability to make four-way calls online is actually dependent on software, not on the webcam itself. There are several software services available, including SightSpeed (a service of Logitech). So, yes, you can use your QuickCam 9000 to chat with four people as long as you have the correct software installed.

I love the camera, and I love the effects. The only thing I was disappointed in was the videomask feature. I thought the default masks in the promotions were “samples”. I would think that whole point of having this feature would be to truly “personalize” any kind of picture with a talking mouth, moving eyes…etc….anyhow, a little disappointed at this….

This seems to be an effect that could easily be used on any photo….is this available? coming soon perhaps?

It’s a great idea and a request we’ve heard from others. In terms of specific plans to add this type of feature, unfortunately, we aren’t able to disclose information about our future plans in regard to product.
